Exposure Class

 

 

 

This feature enables the user to provide exposure classes specific to each element and at the Top and Bottom surface of a section. Like other functions user can edit in tabular format also. By default if not assigned the Class XO (Moderate in case of  IRC:112-2011 code) is applied at both top and bottom surfaces. It is activated when Eurocode2-2:05 and IRC:112-2011 is selected as PSC design code .
